CONTROVERSIAL MP George Galloway says he may stand as Bradford mayor if the city’s voters choose to have one in a referendum tomorrow.

The Bradford West MP, who won the seat two months ago in a shock by-election victory, said his Respect party had yet to shortlist candidates, adding:“I might stand, although my life is crowded enough.”

Respect are hoping to take control of the city, with 12 candidates standing in the council elections.

Labour are currently one seat away from a majority but face a challenge in their inner-city strongholds.
